After a successful launch in Japan, the rest of the world is about to get a taste of the newest mobile game Princess Connect! Re: Dive. Crunchyroll Games officially announced that they will be working with developer Cygames to bring Princess Connect! Re: Dive worldwide.
For anyone unfamiliar with Princess Connect! Re: Dive, it is basically a real-time action RPG that is playable on mobile devices. The game takes place in a land called Astrum, where players join a group of heroines to fight in real-time battles. Each of these characters can get more powerful as players progress through the story while also unlocking special content. Princess Connect! Re: Dive utilizes the anime style to visually bring the game to life and combining it with the RPG genre. It was originally released on February 15, 2018, for Android and iOS devices in Japan.
Crunchyroll released an official trailer for the upcoming mobile game, introducing the main heroines and other characters in the title. Players can preregister for the game and earn Jewels, the in-game currency. The more people sign-up, the bigger the reward will be. Even though people in the West may not be familiar with the game or the series, having a service like Crunchyroll promoting the franchise might help bring in players worldwide to try it out.
The game falls under the gacha mobile model, which has found a huge following with games such as Genshin Impact and Fate/Grand Order. As a follow-up to 2015’s Princess Connect!, the sequel has had much success in Japan. The game has also collaborated with other titles such as Grandblue Fantasy and Dragalia Lost for in-game events. The popularity of the game even helped launch a manga adaptation and an anime series based on the property that released earlier this year. A second season for the anime has already been announced by CygamesPictures.
Players can now pre-register for Princess Connect! Re: Dive on either Google Play or the App Store. As an in-game gift, players can receive 1,000 Jewels to celebrate the game’s release. There currently isn’t any date when it comes out to the rest of the world, so make sure to sign up for the game to get more information.
